Description

This double concerto was written to highlight the skills and differences between the diverse backgrounds of two world class performers. The concerto sees pitched instruments pitted against unpitched, stretches of improvisation alongside highly demanding notated passages. The tension rises to a crescendo during a snare drum passage as both soloists vie for supremacy in this showpiece first performed by Evelyn Glennie and Peter Erskine at the BBC Proms.
